Update 42 (Experimental post)

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

I am attempting to mimic the format used by DDO Developers, apparently they work very hard just posting in this format, as it was very time consuming and difficult for me to do.... anyhow, let's pretend this is for real for the sake of a little experiment.:


Sentient Gems


Sentient Jewel of the Brain Eater A personality delightfully reminiscent of Yaulthoon, wait.... what's going on here, pretty sure this is actually him.
Sentient Jewel of The Seductive A personality oddly resembling Malicia... wait Malicia, is that you? How?.
Sentient Jewel of The Draco Lich A personality resembling Lady Vol, wait.... how? Is that actually Erandis Vol???

This "Assured Vengence" effect is interesting. The rez timer would make it pretty well unusable though. I suggest making the effect have an X minute cool-down. Alternately, it could have a single charge of this effect, which recharges 1/rest and/or 1/Y min.
(For, say, X=Y=10)

Name is cool as well, but I think it would be a better name for a paladin item :)

Adjustments were made and some augment errors were corrected, thank you for the input.

[Cantor]

Nicely done a lot of it is imaginable, but the save debuffs are too big: at 1d10 a swing the trap soul is never going to fail when it procs. Also, the 25% save debuff pretty much makes anything no fail at high levels.

Unless you are specifically scaling it for high level reaper and applying the damage penalty to the save debuff.

Also, I don't see the point in sneak attacking a breath weapon as the number of uses is so limited.

I see you followed the Dev trend of love for monks and artis too.

[glmfw1]

Plainswalker or Planeswalker?

The Kobold Launcher doesn't appear to have anything that links it with anything else. With Dragonlance and Planescape references, among others, it seems odd to have a Kobold themed runearm as part of the loot list, let alone part of the set.
The 3 sentient gems, like the Kobold Launcher, don't seem to have any thematic link with the rest of the items. I would have those gems (and the rune arm) appear in an update with Eberron specific content, rather than Planes related. There are other personalities that could be used to directly tie in with the set of items on offer.

The Key of Mechanus is named after the Great Wheel's plane of ultimate Law, yet the description does not fit anything relating to Law, nor does "Key of..." imply "this weapon is the antithesis of..." I'd think of another name for it, that fits with the power set.

Majere's diamond seems oddly specific. Huge boost to one flavour of Monk, but no use to anyone else. "While centred with a monk-weapon equipped" or "while in a monk stance OR with a Quarterstaff equipped" would broaden it's appeal beyond the overly narrow niche.

Have you thought about the nature of the quests that go along with this Update? In addition to the Legendary versions, what will their Heroic (or Epic) level be, to allow the content both to be playable and make thematic sense? From that, you need to think of how the named items would scale down. Potentially you need 3 versions - Heroic ML and Low Epic ML in addition to the ML 29 legendary versions. If the items don't/can't be scaled down for Heroic and/or Low Epic play and fill meaningful niches on doing so, it probably means there is something game-damaging/breaking in the items as designed. If they do scale down well, and you can easily assign power levels and replacement abilities that make sense at the relevant MLs, then the items will probably fit in nicely with the game as it exists without unbalancing things.

[Selvera]

As someone who complains about every 20x2 stick the devs release; this one might actually have enough CC and utility to be worth using, even if the damage it outputs is significantly lower then the E bloom. 25% save debuff is insane.

Should work on the color of the augments. It seems more like offensive augments are red, defensive augments are blue, stats are colorless.

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

Should work on the color of the augments. It seems more like offensive augments are red, defensive augments are blue, stats are colorless.

These augments simply determine the set effect, technically any non-set item becomes a set item when one of these augments is slotted in a piece of gear but three equipment pieces are required to gain set bonuses.

Yes you are correct, the spelling error has been corrected.

The Idea behind The Key of Mechanus is that it is a key that was going to be used to open up a portal to Mechanus for the purpose of invasion, this is why it does not match the Mechanus theme aside for appearance (Tiny turning clockwork gears on the center of blade) the features it does have lend a clue to who was going to try and invade them as well as what Plane the weapon would drop in. The Kobold runearm would come from the first quest in the chain that would take place on Eberron.

Majere is a deity revered by monks, there are too many complaints on monk quarterstaff builds being inferior and so this augment simply grants a set bonus to offset said complaint by a bit.

The sentient gems would come from a raid where the goal is to close the portal that was opened in the first quest, the same mysterious man responsible for the creation of that runearm is also responsible for those Sentient Gems. You traverse into the portal in the first place as to figure out why it is refusing to close, to resolve all that is keeping it open, and eventually return home to close it. The ruins the first quest will take place in were discovered by the mysterious man who seems to be a researcher for different Planes of existence and dimensional/spatial travel in which explain much of what is going on, he also developed a means to replicate souls/consciousness as a means to have a copy of himself traverse to others plains of existence in a construct body and he first created those sentient gems as a proof of concept before attempting to replicate his own soul. Graz'zt makes another appearance and you find that he is the patron of the mysterious man. Malicia makes a new appearance and is not too happy that she was used as a guinea pig......... This is but a storyline sample.

[glmfw1]

Malicia makes a new appearance and is not too happy that she was used as a guinea pig...
I'm now imagining a guinea pig in suspenders, a bustier and a top hat... I think my sleep may be disturbed tonight!

[glmfw1]

While Monks revere Majere and Majere stands for qualities that Monks possess, his remit (discipline, hard work, practice and austerity) is not Monk specific, let alone Quarterstaff specific. The augment as it stands is overly specific. It's only really fair, in game balance terms if a series of other similarly specific augments were available, such as a Diamond of Habbakuk that only grants bonuses if the character is a Swim Cleric.

Mishakal, while Good, being a Goddess of Healing would not be likely to grant bonuses to damage. I'd suggest a "...every time you strike an evil aligned enemy there is a chance your receive a blessing that further bolsters your defences (+50 PRR/MRR)". In other words, if both Proc, you get 50% damage from the next 5 attacks AND a boosts that reduce the damage even more. Alternatively, have your next attack heal you for 50% of the damage you deal.

How about The Key to Mechanus rather than The Key of Mechanus? The change of one word fits your purpose.

Cunning Blows: You are now able to use your intelligence modifier to determine bonus to hit and damage for use of melee weapons (Artificer 20 required)
Uncontrollable laughter: Your shots from this Rune Arm have a 15% chance of causing enemies struck to fall to the ground and burst out into a fit of laughter. (Will Save negates, DC is equal to your Rune Arm shots, +2 per Charge Tier the shot was fired at).
Planeswalker Set


How about removing Planeswalker Set, but adding a Colourless Augment (so people can make it part of the set if they want), but fits its non-planar origin.
I'd reduce the Arti requirement on Cunning Blows to "provided you have more levels in Artificer than in any other class" and add Cunning Shots: You are now able to use your intelligence modifier to determine bonus to hit for use of crossbows (provided you have more levels in Artificer than in any other class). The rune arm then becomes slightly more versatile, rather than being only of use to pure melee artis, and pure artis still benefit far more on the damage front form the Charge Tier effects.

An effect has been added for ranged artificer.....

Also to explain the way this set works.....

The colorless deity augments function as the third piece to the sets while also serving as a means of determining what the set bonus to the Planescape set is for that particular character, this is why equipping more than one of said augments will lead to death.

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

"This mighty sword bears no resemblance to its namesake in nature or power, other than a curious clockwork design on the blade" Advice taken!

[glmfw1]

The colorless deity augments function as the third piece to the sets while also serving as a means of determining what the set bonus to the Planescape set is for that particular character, this is why equipping more than one of said augments will lead to death.

Which is exactly why I thought changing the Rune Arm to have a colourless slot would be a good move i.e. not automatically part of the set (non-planar origins and all), but it can be.
Rather than death, how about frozen with inaction, due to conflicting deific insights:

Your character gains no benefit from either augment. You lose 10% of your current HP total every 5s. 10s after equipping, your character is frozen in place and can take no active actions for 20s, after which the only action you can take is unequipping a Planeswalker item.


This allows, lore-wise, for the gems to have a direct connection to the Gods (rather than just being Magic Items they created), and reflects most of the relevant Gods being good/neutral and working as a family. HP loss rather than instant death could be accounted for by 2 Gods trying to send their own message without knowing the other one is doing the same, creating feedback within you. 10% of current will mean the character never dies from the effect itself, but as they are vulnerable to anyone around them, it's not exactly safe... just not the God's fault that they die!

Your argument that such would make it more lore friendly was taken into consideration.

As for the runearm, let's put it this way....

Let's say I slot a deity augment into the green slot on a pair of Legendary Construct Champion's Bands, equip those along with Key To Mechanus and Kobold Launcher.... this would complete the set and the set bonus would be dependant on whatever deity augment I slotted into the Legendary Construct Champion's Bands. Anyhow, regardless the effects are required to be distributed amongst three different pieces, slotting a deity augment into an item that is already a part of the set only makes it count as a single piece of the set. Kobold Launcher is already powerful enough, the lack of an augment slot on it is in recognition to such.

I wonder if the Devs will take notice :)

So... assuming the quests are currently LN=30-32, what level would you place the Heroic and/or Low Epic versions of the quests? Given the extra-planar nature of this chain, presumably higher than lvl 13 (Trials of the Archons - the lowest level extraplanar chain). Will the Heroic/low Epic and Legendary versions be the same in setup, or will Legendary get the wilderness and public area that go with the quests, while the others are accessed from the Hall of Heroes and/or a Planeshifter in Amrath?

Seems overpowdered.

My theory... get the abilities themselves and range/variation/compatibility of abilities pegged down first, then review power levels against other equipment of the same level and adjust as necessary.
Unless you were talking about the white stuff... I was making pastry while adding my thoughts on the items and spilled the flour over all Lokael's concepts (and didn't think anyone had noticed until now).

I like these kind of arguments if they are well fleshed out, as such gives a lot to work with!

In other words, please do go into as much detail as you can!

**Edit.... you said overpowdered and not overpowered..........

I have no idea what that means....
